Abstract Background Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term neurological disability. In cases of refractory CA, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may be implemented as a salvage..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Biochemical markers can be used in addition to neuroimaging techniques to evaluate the extent of ischemic brain injuries and to enable earlier diagnosis and faster intervention following the ischemic..

Abstract Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often experience neurological complications, but the neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study combined resting-state fMRI, structural MRI, and cognitive testing to examine brain changes..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Managing acute brain injury involves protecting the brain from secondary injury by addressing the mismatch between metabolic demand and cerebral perfusion. Observational studies have associated impaired cerebral autoregulation, a..

Abstract Brain injury and cerebral inflammation are frequent complications following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) resulting in neurocognitive dysfunction, encephalopathy, or stroke. We compared cerebral inflammation induced by del Nido and histidine-tryptophan-α-ketoglutarate..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To compare brain injury biomarker release levels between two different cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) flow rates in elective cardiac surgery and to explore differences in postoperative delirium between groups..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This scientific statement presents a conceptual framework for the pathophysiology of post–cardiac arrest brain injury, explores reasons for previous failure to translate preclinical data to clinical practice, and outlines..

Abstract We aimed to determine the association between cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) trends from cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (cNIRS) and acute brain injury (ABI) in adult venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients. ABI was defined as..

Abstract Introduction Brain injury is common following open heart valve surgery. Carbon dioxide insufflation (CDI) has been proposed to reduce the incidence of brain injury by reducing the number of air..

Abstract The excellent work by Rezoagli [1] on behalf of the CENTER-TBI and OxENTER-TBI consortia contributes further evidence of the potentially harmful effects of hyperoxia after traumatic brain injury (TBI)...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Cerebral injury is an important complication after cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The rate of overt stroke after cardiac surgery is 1% to 2%, whereas..

Abstract Background Brain injury and neurodevelopmental impairment remain a concern in children with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). A practice guideline on neuromonitoring, neuroimaging, and neurodevelopmental follow-up in CHD patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Neonates with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at risk of brain injury that may result in adverse neurodevelopment. To date,..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  This project aims to describe brain injuries on routine neuroimaging in a large single-center neonatal and pediatric cohort supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The study also aims to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Brain injury caused by extracorporeal circulation during cardiovascular surgical procedures has been a recurring complication since the implementation of extracorporeal circulation five decades ago. There is no unique cause..
